if you're not sure wether a mail really comes from 313 or not, you can
easily find out by checking the header of the mail. most part of headers
get faked as well, but in the "received" line there's always the ip from
the source of the mail. the ip of the hyperreal-server is 209.237.226.90.
if you don't find this ip in any of the "received" lines, you can be sure
that it's a virus or worm...

1. Just got one of those spam emails that mimics a delivery failure

never opened these in the past but have trashed them on the assumption

all wish to know is that I just got one from the following address!

My initial reaction is obviously not to open it and to warn you all. Can
anyone confirm whether this is the correct response or alternatively
tell me if in fact it is a bona fide message - I've never received
messages in this form from hyperreal before so I'm not 100% sure whether
to dismiss it or not + it seems to be totally out of any context.
